Bigre ! & Cynthia Abraham présentent le nouveau titre « Tchourou »

Bigre ! & Cynthia Abraham

Nouveau titre « Tchourou »

Le big band Bigre!

se réinvente avec une nouvelle pépite :

« Tchourou »

.

Le texte est signé Willy Play et la musique a été composée par le chef de l’orchestre Félicien Bouchot.

Ensemble, ils mettent en scène l’itinéraire d’une jeune fille dont l’indifférence nous évoque une certaine girl from Ipanema.

« Tchourou » plus connu en France sous le nom de « tchip » est une onomatopée africaine utilisée pour manifester le mépris ou la défiance.

Un titre exotique très à propos pour résumer l’attitude de l’héroïne du morceau, inaccessible pour ceux qui la contemplent, objet de désir mélancolique qui s’éloigne avec nonchalance.

L’ orchestre enchanteur escorte sa marche. Il enveloppe avec sensualité et délicatesse l’ensorcelante Cynthia Abraham qui incarne le rôle à merveille.

On retrouve dans  » Tchourou » le métissage afro-cubain qui est désormais la signature de Bigre! avec une tonalité plus urbaine dans le langage.

Fruit défendu mais à consommer sans modération.

Bigre !

Ulrich Forman présente son nouveau clip « At last »

Ulrich Forman

Nouveau clip « At last »

Après l’évocation douce-amère du premier baiser (« Breathin »). Ulrich Forman nous dévoile une nouvelle facette plus sombre avec « At Last »

L’amour qui est venu sans crier gare est maintenant consumé. Ulrich jette un regard en arrière, le couple vient de se briser, et les sentiments se mêlent : la volonté désespérée que tout redevienne comme avant, que les morceaux se recollent pour tout oublier, qui laisse finalement la place à l’acceptation, le deuil de la relation et la sérénité.

Ulrich Forman confirme la modernité qu’il laissait apparaître dans “Breathin”, entre des voix subtilement autotunées et des samples de boîtes à rythmes comme un motif entêtant pour accompagner l’auditeur tout au long de ce chemin qu’il emprunte à l’image de sa déambulation dans les rues de Paris dans ce nouveau clip réalisé par Alexandre Tissot

Ulrich Forman est un auteur, compositeur et producteur

.

Le coeur de sa musique est composé de mélodies douces et tendres qui prennent place dans une atmosphère pop-folk mêlant instruments acoustiques et influences électroniques.

Entre 2013 et 2018, Ulrich Forman compose deux EPs ainsi qu’un album, naviguant entre des influences folk et des mélodies aériennes, entre puissance et tendresse.

Sur la scène ou en studio, il collabore avec Fab Dupont (Paul Mc Cartney/The Do), Florent Livet (Phoenix/Bloc Party), Pavle Kovacevic (Sébastien Tellier), Chab (Feist/Daft Punk), Graham Hawthorne (Brian Wilson/Paul Simon) ou encore Yann Tiersen et Alain Souchon.

Vient l’année 2022, et avec elle le nouvel opus d’Ulrich Forman,

« Chapter IV : Vulnerable» disponible le 27 mai 2022

Harry and The Chicks shares her new single « Snakes in the Streets »

Harry and The Chicks

New single « Snakes in the Streets »

Spotify

The bold and powerful “Snakes in The Streets” is about putting trust in people too soon and touches on the epidemic of street harassment.

East London based pop artist Harry and The Chicks creates music which reflects the vibrancy and history of her city. Building her own unique world, she combines her ‘poptimistic’ music with her own internationally selling fashion merchandise store. With creativity running through her veins, Harry’s colourful sound and style leaves an unforgettable imprint in your mind.

Her shiny new single “Snakes in The Streets” is bold and powerful. A collaboration with producer Imad Salhi, the song features hard-hitting, synth-fuelled melodies with crystal clear vocals, resulting in a danceworthy track reminiscent of Kim Petras and Griff. Always the optimist, the song is very upbeat in contrast to its lyrical content. Written during a time where Harry was struggling with anxiety and sleep paralysis, she finally felt able to write honestly and openly about her emotions, relatably singing, “I’m anxious, I feel depressed, I’m embarrassed to get this off my chest”.

The songwriter shares, “The song is about putting trust in people too soon. I can be so open with people that I leave myself vulnerable to others, and I’ve had this trait since I was a teenager. When you’re a teenager, it can feel like you have an audience around you that are eagerly awaiting your downfall at all times. I felt eyes on me, and my friends thought I was paranoid. At the same time though, I’d been added to harassing group chats made by some of my peers, and I’d even have people following me home.”

The creepy, yet disturbingly realistic video shows the artist with her friends being followed and harassed by people on the streets. Harry reveals, “I was followed and catcalled fourteen times on my walk from the studio to my home. Strangers were wolf whistling and cornering me from their bikes, vans and even from their flats. It’s a scary experience being a young woman walking the streets of London alone, but positively, this experience gave me the narrative for the music video and a chance to highlight the major issue London has with street harassment from my lived experience.”

With a following of over 25K fans across platforms, Harry and The Chicks has tastemaker support from BBC Essex and BBC Introducing; she recently played on Minga London’s IGTV stage and was awarded as the Undiscovered Essex Live Music Project Best Solo Act in 2018. Harry is currently working with the app ‘SafeUp’ to raise awareness of street harassment. The app helps women stay safe on the streets by having an online community of women that can be alerted when you are in an uncomfortable situation.

Ceara Cavalieri shares her new single « Radio Silence »

Ceara Cavalieri

New single « Radio Silence »

Stream / Download

Entitled « Radio Silence », Ceara confides “I wrote this song about a guy that I had been dating for about 8 months who randomly ghosted me without saying anything. It is such a weird feeling when you are used to talking to someone everyday and then out of nowhere it’s just complete “radio silence” on their end. I know that most people have experienced something like this and it can really make you feel down on yourself especially without getting that closure. If you’re going through something like this or have experienced something similar then this is definitely a song that you can scream in your car.”

Ceara Cavalieri is a 26 year old singer/songwriter from Southern California. Having graduated from UCLA with a degree in Psychology, Cavalieri has since dedicated herself to pursuing music full time. Her love for music stems from the age of three, where she found her voice and wouldn’t stop singing. In her teenage years she took to songwriting as a way of expressing her thoughts and feelings when her shyness prevented. With 6 single releases under her belt thus far, Cavalieri is carving out her own distinct sound of incredibly infectious and candidly relatable pop rock music. Her latest single, “Damn” was placed on Spotify’s “Teen Beats” playlist and “Fresh Finds” playlist. Ceara also recently collaborated with DJ/Producer EQRIC on two dance singles which were placed on Spotify’s “Dance Brandneu” playlist.

Janos share their new single “JUICEBOX”

Janos

New single “JUICEBOX”

Spotify

“JUICEBOX” fights the inner conflict of good and bad, exploring the struggle to not make the wrong choices when enticing opportunities arise.

Scandinavian based band JANOS is a colourful, genre-bending group made up of Janos Andersson, Aksel Krystad, Håvard Haugland and Kristoffer Sakseide. Pulling elements from an amalgamation of contrasting genres, the band fuses a nostalgic, melancholic vibe with energetic grooves, resulting in feel-good dancey tunes.

Moving to London in 2015, Swedish vocalist and songwriter Andersson set out as a solo artist, gaining experience and exposure playing regular gigs around the city, however relocated to Oslo in 2018. Amping up his musical pursuit, he connected with songwriter and guitarist Haugland and bassist Sakseide over social media, then fellow songwriter, keyboard player and producer, Krystad through playing shows. It was when the pandemic struck, that momentum ramped up with Andersson and Krystad penning songs and recording demos, eventually leading to the musicians forming a band under the name JANOS.

Their new single “JUICEBOX” is the second song from their upcoming EP, which is set to drop in Spring 2022. Fighting the inner conflict of good and bad, the track explores the struggle to not make the wrong choices when enticing opportunities arise. With clear influences from Glass Animals trickling through, “JUICEBOX” is a bouncy full-flavoured pop track with eerie guitars, woozy electronic bass and keys, and a tastefully ear-worming melody.

Recently playing sold out gigs at Salt in Oslo, as well as their track « Sicky/Sticky » being featured on Greta Thunberg`s travels with La Vagabonde, the group are seeing a stack of successes forming swiftly. Having written and produced a large catalogue of new music over the last year, there is a lot to listen out for from JANOS in 2022!

Not Scared of Giants’

Jouer dans ce décor incroyable et chanter avec des enfants m’ont procuré une joie immense, conférant à la vidéo une dimension presque magique.

Découvrez SAAM, le candidat solaire de l’Eurovision France 2022 avec son titre « Il est où? »

SAAM

Nouveau titre « Il est où? »

Il nous surprend dès la première écoute avec sa voix d’écorché vif. Mais aussi lorsque l’on croise sa tête d’ange et son sourire étincelant…

Saam, c’est un gars originaire de Lille, chirurgien-dentiste le jour et auteur-compositeur-interprète la nuit.

Issu d’une famille modeste, il est élevé par deux femmes qui ont su forger son caractère : sa mère et sa grand-mère. Sa mère s’est battue pour subvenir aux besoins de sa famille et sa grand-mère l’a accueilli pendant plusieurs années afin qu’il puisse poursuivre ses études d’odontologie.

Bercé par le rock de Radiohead, il découvre la chanson française avec Brassens et Brel ainsi que l’écriture réaliste des rappeurs Niska ou encore Nekfeu. C’est ainsi qu’il se positionne dans une chanson française résolument moderne avec des influences tantôt rock, tantôt urbaines.

Saam est un artiste profondément vrai, un homme de valeur, qui raconte des histoires sincères et universelles, en s’inspirant de son vécu. Après avoir diffusé des reprises visionnées des dizaines de milliers de fois, il se met à écrire et composer, avec la volonté de partager et d’émouvoir son public.

Ainsi est né le tout premier morceau de Saam – « Mémère » – un puissant hommage à sa grand-mère, véritable hymne intergénérationnel, dans lequel il nous emporte dans la nostalgie inéluctable d’un petit-fils qui a senti le temps passer trop vite.

En confinement, il décide de poster une version acoustique de son morceau sur ses réseaux et se retrouve submergé par l’engouement des internautes. Une semaine plus tard il cumule 300 000 vues et tape dans l’œil du label Jo&Co (Claudio Capéo, Les Frangines, Hoshi) chez qui il signe son tout premier album.

Après avoir assuré la première partie des Frangines au Trianon et à l’Olympia, Saam en est désormais sûr : il est définitivement prêt à troquer sa blouse de chirurgien-dentiste contre un micro et un public chaleureux.

S’ensuit un deuxième morceau – « Comme ci comme ça » – dans lequel il exprime sa volonté et sa détermination à faire entendre sa voix coûte que coûte, quitte à renoncer à sa carrière de chirurgien.

Le 9 avril 2021, sort le premier EP éponyme de Saam, dans lequel il évoque différents épisodes qui ont marqué sa vie. Cet EP comprend ses deux premiers singles ainsi que 3 titres inédits dans lesquels Saam se livre à nouveau, sur l’absence de son père pendant son enfance (Papa pas là) ou ses déboires amoureux (L’incendie). Il bénéficie d’une très belle couverture médiatique à sa sortie en décrochant une invitation sur les plateaux des talk-shows « Vivement dimanche prochain » aux côtés de Michel Drucker et « On est en direct » avec Laurent Ruquier.

Pour accompagner l’été 2021, Saam revisite le titre emblématique de Jenifer – « J’attends l’amour » – près de vingt ans après sa sortie. Sa reprise est choisie pour illustrer les bandes annonces de la nouvelle saison de « L’amour est dans le pré » sur M6.

Le 7 janvier 2022, Saam revient avec un nouveau single « Il est où ? » dans lequel il chante, avec une candeur décomplexée, l’espoir d’une société moins morose, le besoin d’un retour à l’essentiel.

Loud Forest shares their new single « I Don’t Want To Go Home »

Loud Forest

New single « I Don’t Want To Go Home »

Spotify

Entitled « I Don’t Want To Go Home », the single is an anthem for those of us who didn’t always feel like we belonged.

The song is a confrontation of two emotions; one can be heard in the verses – it’s anger, anger for feeling trapped, controlled and hurt. The other emotion is a sparkling exuberance that can be heard on the choruses. There is a release and excitement that comes in finding your youthful identity with friends and freedom.

The band Loud Forest is based in Los Angeles, CA where Bernard and Rachel Chadwick, a married couple, collaborate out of their experimental project space in Pasadena. Merging elements of alternative rock, Americana, and pop as well as post-punk into their moody, crafted indie rock, their earliest albums won a dedicated fan base and radio attention.

An album-oriented band, Loud Forest is doused in indie credibility from years of self-releases, homemade microphones and hosting rock shows in their studio. With influences ranging from Wilco to the Staples Singers, from Bob Dylan to Trey Sivan, from Spoon to Anderson .paak – the band distinguishes themselves with an acute attention to hooky melodies and intentional lyricism that plays with themes of love, fidelity and family. Drawing inspiration from their two daughters, Bernard and Rachel started the band to end all other bands they were in; a merging of creative forces and a project surrounded by their LA community.

Their 4th and forthcoming album, “Family Tree,” returns to their DIY approach; a beautiful lockdown creation of sparkly jams and alternative rock anthems that tell stories of their childhood through raw and angular expressions. Coming May, 2022.

Fog Lake

tells us about the creation of the single:

“dj poolboi contacted me with an instrumental he wanted me to sing on and I really connected with the music and atmosphere of it all. I usually write in first person but I tried instead to write from the perspective of someone who was struggling with their idea of love and the evolution/disintegration of their feelings towards family, friends and loved ones, some lost to time and others about to be. I’m extremely happy with how it came together and was honoured to be a part of it.”

Speaking of the collaboration,

dj poolboi

tells us:

“I fell in love with Fog Lake’s music the first time I heard it. At the time I had been writing more piano and acoustic instrumentals and reached out to Aaron to work together. I wanted a break from writing electronic focused music to maintain my creativity and sanity. The vocals and lyrics he wrote are equally haunting and beautiful; coupled with his guitar and wonderful vocal melodies. It was a pleasure working with him, and I couldn’t be happier with the result.

Joey Harkum shares his new single « Sick and Tired

Joey Harkum

New single « Sick and Tired »

Spotify

« Sick and Tired is a song about being engulfed in drug culture and coming to the realization that you no longer can/want to continue being a part of the lifestyle. Ultimately pursuing music led me to focus on something positive rather than falling victim to drug addiction like a lot of my close friends and family at the time. »

For his entire life JoeyHarkum has been strumming a guitar and after a decade of touring as the lead singer and songwriter of Baltimore-based band Pasadena, he released his debut solo album,

Love and Labor

, to critical acclaim in 2016. Known for his deep and poignant lyrics telling stories of joy, love, loss and sadness, Joey brings the human experience to life through his relentless tour schedule that culminated in the release of

Live at Buffalo Iron Works

in 2018. 2020 brought new challenges but Joey has responded with writing and recording new music and has released his brand new album “Storyboard” in March of 2021.
